ALL IS TRANQUIL IN GILES.
Pulaski Citizen: There is some APP
prehension expressed in various other
parts of Tennessee that the prohibi-
tionists will not vote the Democratic
ticket hereafter. We have heard of
no such detection hereabouts. We
can speak for one of them-and he
will vote the straight ticket until the
cows come home. There is no dam
ger to the party in this direction, as
far as Giles county is concerned.
CARLISLE WILL GET THERE.
Nashville Banner: 1t seems to be
very generally believed that there
will be little or no difficulty in elect
ing Mr.. Carlisle speaker of the next
house. There has been a good deal
of talk about combinations against
him, but he has a strong support
which will stand by him, and men,
bers who do not agree with him on
some political questions respect him
for his high personal character and
acknowledged ability.

That the adoption of this bill is necessary
TO the election of a suitable person to the
Office of mayor is absurd, and that our
mayor should he man of wealth. man OF
prominence and influence, is an insult TO
thousands of honest toilerS in the city. II
is not necessary that he be man OF wealth,
il Is not necessary that he be man OF
prominence, it is not necessary that he be
man of influence. but ii is necessary that he
be a man of character and sense.
We have no friends to reward nor enc
mics to punish, neither have we a candidate
for mayor. except the candidate of the re-
publican party. nor do We presume TO dictate
who that candidate shall be, for we believe
that the republican party in Springfield Is
wiser than any man or set of men and the
candidate of the party is our candidate.
That the democrats have concocted this
scheme to defeat us. if possible, at the
polls this spring there is every evidence.
They gave the scheme birth and as a party
are supporting it. We take no
stock in non-partisan legislation. Ii usual
ly means democracy. Last fall some re-
publicans who denounced non-partisanism
as being pure, unadulterated democracy.
are now found posing as non partisans and
supporting this so-called non-partisan
measure. In addition to being pure dem
cratic plot, il is law that our city does not

DANGERS OF DESK LUNCHING.


solemn Warning Z" Over Industrious
Employees, and n Hint to Employers.
In the office of an insurance company
on I.aSalle street | saw, the other day. "a
young man eating his lunch at his desk.
Ii was very modest lunch which his
GOOD mother, n New England Puritan,
hau prepared for him at home with typ
teal New England simplicity. II consisted
Of bread and BIttcr-the slices of the
former rather thick and the layers Of the
latter quite thin-two hard boiled eggs
and piece of mince pie. Doubtless the
pie was good-all New England mince
pie is-but | pitied the young man from
the bottom of my heart. With his glass
of water from the hydrant, his eyes fixed
upon a letter before him even while he
munched his attitude reminded me of
that Of slave bending over his toll and
eating the crust which his hard task
master had begrudgingly flung him. In
ten minutes the lunch was finished, and
then the Young man resumed his labors
with reports, policies and letters.
| made some inquiry concerning him,
and learned that he was one of the most
valuable employees in the otiice-earneSt,
faithful and ioyal-and that his services
were appreciated and rewarded with a
good salary. out of which he and his
mother. good Yankee that she was, were
daily saving a snug sum. And yet l
pitied him. If | had been an old man
should have said TO him, as earnestly and
paternally as | knew how: Young man,
don eat any more lunches at your desk.
Tell your mother not to put up any more
eggs or mince pics for you: you can't al
ford il You may save a dime or two
and half hours time. but you can earn
your salary and more, too, after taking
an hour for lunch ont. The dimes You
are saving now viii some day be needed
To pay doctors bills and support you
when you are too sick to work. Stop this
desk lunching. Go ont to restaurant,
buy some soup, some warm food, take
your time To its eating find some COM
panions to go with you and chat and
laugh with you. Take a little stroll in
the open air, fiji your lungs with oxygen
that is not superheated and lifeless, get
your mind away from your work little
while, and, depend upon il, the sum Of
your lifes strength. energy and happiness
will be all the greater for it."-Chicago

A Thought Reader on Mr.. Gladstone.

Mr.. Gladstone is, of all notable men
have met, about the least able TO mask his
emotions, skillful as he is in cloaking his
thoughts. He is highly emotional man,
and there is about him, moreover, some
thing distinctly mesmeric. His Natural
charm Of manner, the softncss of his voice
and the soothing nervous action of his
hands give him an immense power over
men. 1t is almost impossible To be in his
presence without feeling this mesmeric in
fluencc, and | can well understand people
doing things at his dCtation which may
be against their better judgment

4 SUGGESTION.

There seems to be no difference of opin-
ion among our citizens as to the desirable
ness of some change in the administration
of our municipal affairs, and that if the
mayors office were wholly salaried pO-
sition, and the police and fire depart
ments were controlled by non-partisan
boards, the evils complained of would be
largely remedied. As solution 10 all
this, why not hold public meeting in
the wigwam on Friday evening of this
week. to take the nccersary steps for sub
mitting a bill to the legislature, covering
these points. and have delegation of our
citizens go to Columbus and secure its
passage.
The legislature will not adjourn for two
weeks at least. Our market house bill was
passed in week and SO can this by proper
attention.
1t may be urged that constitutional i'm
but if il is constitutional to empower the
city council to abolish the office of
city marshal, why can it not be empowered
to appoint four commissioners, not more
than two of whom shall be of the same
political faith. to govern our police and fire
departments, TO fix a salary for the Office of
mayor and require him to pay into the sity
